Summary

Eighteen year-old Jessica's life is turned upside down the day the police knock on her door to deliver the news that her parents have been in a fatal accident. Her late father's gambling and reckless lifestyle leave her finances in turmoil and threaten to leave her homeless...until a chance meeting with a 30-year-old stranger means that her life changes forever.

Finding herself an unofficial ward of a mysterious, serious man, our American heroine and her enigmatic British 'Guardian' get used to living with each other...with all of the tensions, pitfalls and excitement that entails....

The Guardian

I am new to audiobooks but I have read books by Alice Raine was curious to see how the author did writing short stories.
As usual Alice Raine has not disappointed. I enjoyed the story but I do prefer reading myself so I would love to see it in print

Sounds like it was written by a 13 yr old

Sorry but this was dreadful, unbelievable, narration was cheesy and the virtually constant piano was awful… listened to it in the end for laughs…

Good story

I enjoyed the book. Too bad it wasn't longer. It would have made a a good full-length book. Loved the narrators. I wish other books would have a similar narration where both narrators perform at the same time during conversations as in real life. I have listened to only a few books that do that. The sound effects of the book added to the realism. I question the use of some of the piano music throughout the book but I don't think it takes away from the story. Decent book overall.
